	Atomic theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In chemistry and physics, atomic theory is a theory of the nature of matter, which states that matter is composed of discrete units called atoms, as opposed to antiquated beliefs that matter could be divided into any arbitrarily small quantity.
		Atomic theory began thousands of years ago as a philosophical concept, and in the 19th century achieved widespread scientific acceptance thanks to discoveries in the field of stoichiometry.
		This, coupled with the fact that hydrogen—being the lightest element ever found—had an atomic mass of 1, led him to conclude hydrogen nuclei were singular particles, a basic consituent of all atomic nuclei: the proton.

	Basic Atomic Theory for Chemistry
		Dalton's atomic theory immediately led to the realization that although atoms are far too small to be studied directly, their relative masses can be estimated by observing the weights of elements that combine to form similar compounds.
		An alternative way of examining the behavior of individual atomic particles became evident in 1899, when J.J. Thomson, whose work on "cathode rays" had revealed that the atoms has internal components of its own, showed that the charged particles resulting from their break-up could be deflected by externally-applied magnetic and electrostatic fields.
		The unified atomic mass unit is defined as 1/12 of the mass of one atom of carbon-12.

	Fourth dimension atomic theory
		The atomic functions within the atom are continuously modified at an energy level, which is directly proportional to the atomic mass of the atom.
		Because the Dovada research team works with a fourth dimension atomic model, many of the physical constants, similar to the Fine Structure Constant, are now very easily defined from first principles directly from the atoms spiral galaxy and orbital acceleration vectors and the reason for their very existence is now fully documented and understood.
		Indeed our models encompass existing theories and expand them into areas that were previously poorly explained or considered under the banner of phenomena, the modern atomic model theory needs to be enhanced, to remove this over hanging banner of phenomena.

	Theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In science, a theory is a proposed description, explanation, or model of the manner of interaction of a set of natural phenomena, capable of predicting future occurrences or observations of the same kind, and capable of being tested through experiment or otherwise falsified through empirical observation.
		A theory is a logically self-consistent model or framework for describing the behavior of a related set of natural or social phenomena.
		In this sense, a theory is a systematic and formalized expression of all previous observations that is predictive, logical and testable.

	Dalton's Atomic Theory
		The ancient Greek philosophers had talked about atoms, but Dalton's theory was different in that it had the weight of careful chemical measurements behind it.
		Although a number of chemists were quickly convinced of the truth of the theory, it took about a half century for the opposition to die down, or perhaps I should say die off.
		A model focuses on describing what the atoms are like, whereas the theory not only talks about what the atoms are like but how they interact with one another and so forth.

	Atomic Theory I
		Atoms of different elements are distinguished from each other by their number of protons (the number of protons is constant for all atoms of a single element; the number of neutrons and electrons can vary under some circumstances).
		To identify this important characteristic of atoms, the term atomic number (z) is used to describe the number of protons in an atom.
		The weight of an atom is roughly determined by the total number of protons and neutrons in the atom.

		The atomic number (z) is the same in both isotopes; however the atomic mass increases by one in deuterium as the atom is made heavier by the extra neutron.
		Key to Bohr's theory was the fact that the electron could only "jump" and "fall" to precise energy levels, thus emitting a limited spectrum of light.
		Under Bohr's theory, the maximum capacity of the first (or innermost) electron shell is two electrons.
